Cosplay Beyonce PRETTY HURTS (Miss 3RD Ward)

First of all, I know Beyonce is fantastically gorgeous in this video clip and I do not look like her nor I have millions to spend in plastic surgeries to look like her so, please, let's not be too harsh on me. That cleared: Yes! I cosplayed Beyonce in Pretty Hurts this Halloween.

This video touched me quite deeply .. Not sure if you guys know but I was too a beauty queen.

And a curiosity: I also wore yellow on the pageant. For some reason the guys there think black women dress better in yellow or lime green, anyways... just like in the video clip I also didn't win the crown I wanted. I had won the pageants before it but THE ONE I wanted no....How awesome it would be to be Miss Brazil.

Frustration: After all the exercises, diet, fake tanning, waxing, lubed teeth (yes!), rehearsals and training... nothing. I got in the final but didn't get the crown. And that was the last year I could compete because of my age. My first and last year. One shot.

Have you ever been to any situation where everybody was watching you and you had to deal with your frustration? - Leave me a comment sharing with me.

This cosplay is kinda last minute and was made with the things I had at home. I think her bathing suit is not made of the same material but I wanted to make it out of Lycra. I have too much fabric in my house!

We did some alterations for better fitting: I wanted to add cups inside because I think it dresses a lot better and I also wanted the back part to be very discrete, with full coverage.+++Nós fizemos umas pequenas alterações para melhor caimento: eu queria bojo por dentro porque acho que veste muito melhor e atrás eu queria algo mais discreto, com cobertura total.

It would be a million times faster if we had the proper machine, but since we didn't a trick was to sew it with zigzag movable stitches. The same stitch that we use on underwear elastics.

The make up was fairly easy! It was a smokey lilac eye and pink lipstick.Unfortunately I didn't have much time on the day to redo the same make up I did on the testing but oh well it was pretty neat even though.+++O make up foi bastante fácil! Foi um olho esfumado lilás e batom rosa.Infelizmente eu não tive muito tempo no dia para refazer a mesma maquiagem que eu fiz nos testes, mas oh bem, foi muito bacana apesar de tudo.

AND WIG (Hair Piece)What a weird look, but I had fun doing this wig, or should I say hair piece?I honestly, as you can probably tell, I just created the curled blonde bangs she has and mixed it with my actual hair. You can read the details about the wig HERE.

As accessories I wore a nude comfortable pump shoe I had, gloves, strass earrings.I completely forgot to wear the number ribbon I had made. :( - And this is why I usually sew on everything together so I wouldn't forget little things like it.
